How much fun could a good dog have if a good dog could go to daycare? The answer: TONS! Doggie Daycare includes supervised one-on-one playtime in our 1/2 acre doggie playground! Your fur baby gets to run and play games and get loved on by one of our outstanding staff. Want your pup to cool off in our custom-made doggie pool?
When boarding with Powderhouse Pet Resort, doggies get their own, spacious, temperature controlled private suites or can share a suite with other dogs from your family. The dogs come out several times a day for potty breaks and exercise. We offer supervised playtime packages so your furry friends can enjoy the sunshine, playing in our 1/2 acre play yard or swimming in our custom made 16'x29' state of the art beach entry doggie pool. What better way to treat your pet in the hot "Dog Days" of Summer than a refreshing swim in the Powderhouse Pet Resort Doggie Pool?
From the moment you step through the doors into the separate building that house the Cat Condos and Villas, you will know that you are in a very special place. This exclusively "cats only" space features large windows with numerous soft perching places for your pet to view the outside world. An over-sized fish tank with brightly colored fish is maintained to keep your pet stimulated.

NEVER again will I use Powderhouse Pet Resort. We have used them for many years, travelling from Augusta, GA to board our dogs there. Our dog passed away 2 years ago and we have not used them since. We now have a new dog and called them for boarding. They wanted him to come to doggie daycare first since he's a large bread. We did that. NEVER have I had a dog get so sick after spending a day at a kennel.
When we called them and asked if they watched him while outside, we got, "Well, we don't watch them ALL the time." Not sure what has changed over the last 2 years but that will be the last time we use Powderhouse Pet Resort. I care about my dog too much to leave him in their care again.

Add in charges not discussed when booking boarding. Dogs came ho.e smelling of feces. Nail trims I requested not done. Bold faced lies to me about my dogs behavior as I have 2 males that are hyper aggressive to each other, and a female who gets along with everyone. They told me the males were best friends. Because my female looked at the fence, they leash walked her and didn't let her play. She didn't try to escape, she just looked at the fence.

The best way to describe how awesome this place is, is to explain through my dogs reactions. at the last two kennels we took them to (years ago), the dogs would shake and cry when we pulled in the parking lot. They wouldn't get out of the car. They would come home sad and depressed. At Powderhouse, they are so excited when we pull in! Tails banging against the seat and whining to get out and run inside.
They don't even look back at us! When they come home, they are worn out from all the play time, and just normal. No anxiety or anything. And the photos and notes that PPR gives me at pick up, makes me feel so good about them there. They literally look like they're smiling in the photos.

We left for the weekend leaving our 3 English bulldogs with Powderhouse pet resort. We got a phone call Sat stating that our youngest was limping but did not tell us that she was keeping all her weight off of her leg completely holding it off the ground. She has a leg that pops out of the shoulder joint every now and then (common in Bulldogs). When we returned that was not the leg that was injured.
When we returned we immediately took her to the vet to find out she has a torn acl. They of course can not provide any information as to what happened even though they have cameras throughout the facility. They state she was fence fighting and claim she must have hurt it then. This is not possible as there has to be something really traumatic to tear a acl.
If you care for your pet do your self a favor and do not board here. they let her sit in pain for the rest of the weekend and never indicated the severity of the injury to my wife. $3000 surgery on the way and of course they take no responsibility.

This place is highly recommended by friends, however. 1) expensive for what you "don't " get. You are not allowed to look at accommodations. No cameras available for the customer to monitor. Was told by the staff upon arrival "call us anytime we are open" to check on your dog but when I called 5 times in two days, no one answers the phone. 2) I paid for a suite which it would have been nice to see that he actually stayed in that room. 3) I paid for extra play time but did he get it?
I will say the staff are nice. Many are just young high school age children. I got a nice card with a photo of him playing with a toy, documenting two of the play times he supposedly got. I will go back but wish they would spend a little money and put cameras in so that parents can view their pets.

I have brought my 9 shar pei here over the last 30 years, for daycare and boarding. All had multiple health issues, most chronic. Not only have these staff treated our dogs like they were their family, they have managed medications, food and bathing impeccably. We take trips for up to two weeks and the dogs are in outstanding condition when we get home.
The dogs love daycare and start as puppies. We could not live without these people and they have our total trust and respect. You cannot put a price on that when it comes to your faimly!

I recently started putting my 17 week old shihpooh at Powderhouse and I absolutely love it. They are very friendly, honest and caring when it comes to my fur baby. I love the daily report cards and pictures they give me when I pick him up. The rates are very reasonable I can tell my baby loves it here. Thank you to the staff of Powderhouse for your awesome business!
